RE: Billing for O & P for in-patient (hospital) Medicare patients

Thank you to everyone who responded. I eventually contacted Patrick Kelly at
AOPA who provided me with 2 excellent documents: a reprint of Kathy Dodson's
O & P Almanac article (reprinted January 1996) titled Putting an End to
Hospital Billing Problems, and a Program Memorandum from HCFA, issued
February 2000 (Transmittal AB-00-02, HCFA-Pub. 60AB), which primarily deals
with the Pre-Discharge Delivery of DMEPOS items to in-patients (the Two-Day
Rule), but also, clearly states the hospital's responsibility for providing
these items, noting their inclusion in the DRG and PPS rates.
